Chapter 162 Ten million, no more
I stood there obediently, waiting patiently for Jiang Yichen, wondering what he might need.
Just then, Mr. Jiang walked over from the other end of the corridor, his eyes filled with scrutiny and confusion.
"Why are you here?" he asked with a hint of impoliteness in his tone.
I know that no one here likes me except my grandma, but it doesn’t matter because I won’t marry into this family anyway.
I replied indifferently: "I'm waiting for Jiang Yichen here. He went back to his room to get something."
Hearing this, Mr. Jiang was silent for a while, and then suddenly said, "Name your price. How much does it cost to leave Jiang Yichen?"
I was a little stunned by his words, and then I found them very funny.
I asked back, “Then how much do you think I’m worth?”
He seemed to have already made up his mind and answered without hesitation: "Ten million, no more."
I felt mixed emotions when I heard this number.
It never occurred to me that my worth could be so lightly measured and priced.
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, then looked at him and said seriously, "Mr. Jiang, I think you are mistaken. You think too much about the relationship between Jiang Yichen and me."
He looked at me with a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes, but he didn't seem to intend to give up his idea.
He wanted to say something else, but at this moment, Jiang Yichen walked out of the room and interrupted our conversation.
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Jiang Yichen's voice was filled with some displeasure and vigilance.
Mr. Jiang stood aside and said in a prejudiced tone, "She is just holding on to you because the Gu family is bankrupt and needs money. I advise you to have some self-awareness and stop being bewitched by her."
Hearing this, I couldn’t help but cry out in injustice.
At this moment, Jiang Yichen stepped forward, stepped forward, looked into his father's eyes, and said word by word: "You don't need to worry about my affairs. I know what I am doing and I am clear about my choices."
Jiang Yichen's father was obviously very angry at his son's words. He said angrily: "You are now the president of Jiang's. Your words and deeds represent the image of Jiang's. You must learn to cherish yourself and don't ruin yourself for a woman!"
Jiang Yichen heard this and his eyes became more determined: "I built Jiang's company with my own hands. I know how to cherish it better than anyone else. Moreover, the person I chose, I believe she is worth my cherishment."
"You...you...are unreasonable." Old Master Jiang panted, pointing at Jiang Yichen and holding his chest.
Jiang Yichen took a look and ordered in a deep voice: "Come here, help the master go back to rest."
I stood there, watching Mr. Jiang being forcibly sent away, and felt a sigh in my heart.
Faced with the 10 million yuan proposed by Jiang Yichen’s father, I have to admit that this number really made my heart beat.
My family is facing serious financial difficulties. This huge amount of money is enough to solve our current debt problem and allow me and my family to breathe a sigh of relief.
Also, Mr. Jiang’s words were too biased. Has he ever considered that it was his son who was entangled with me?
God knows how much I want to leave.
I originally wanted to agree, but now, looking at Mr. Jiang's family status, it's just so-so.
Just as I was struggling internally and hadn't opened my mouth to answer, a gloomy and familiar voice suddenly came from behind me: "Why? Want to make this money?"
I looked up and met his eyes, which were full of disbelief and disappointment.
My heart sank. He must have heard our conversation.
I took a deep breath and tried to explain: "Yichen, listen to me, I..."
However, Jiang Yichen didn't seem to want to listen to my explanation. He interrupted me and said, "What is our relationship? Why does my dad think too much?"
With every question he asked, he moved a step closer to me, scaring me so much that I stepped back repeatedly.
I knew he misunderstood what I meant, but I didn't know how to explain it.
I was already backed into a corner. I stood firm and asked, "So what is our relationship? Lovers? Boyfriend and girlfriend? Or superiors and subordinates?"
Jiang Yichen was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't expected me to fight back.
"Of course it's a superior-subordinate relationship."
Jiang Yichen looked at me with complicated eyes.
I listened to his words, and a strong sense of loss surged in my heart. I knew that I couldn't remain silent any longer, and I had to let him know my true thoughts.
"Since we are in a superior-subordinate relationship, I will go to your father now and accept his 10 million. You shouldn't be angry, right?"
I pretended to chase after Mr. Jiang, deliberately testing Jiang Yichen.
My wrist felt a pain and when I met his murderous gaze, my heart trembled and I felt a little regretful for challenging his bottom line.
I smiled to myself, suppressing the mixed emotions that welled up in my heart.
I gently broke free from his hand, "Let go, I want to go home."
"Jiang Yichen, I've finished visiting grandma. I should go back." Thinking of the embarrassing scene when I stayed here last time, and the fact that I just offended Jiang Yichen, I was afraid that if I stayed here, I would be left with nothing!
Jiang Yichen's face darkened instantly. He pinched my wrist and said with a hint of anger: "I'll take you back."
"No, I can go back by myself."
I broke free from his wrist and said angrily.
"Gu Mo, why do you never listen to me? Do you hate me so much?" Jiang Yichen asked me loudly with a dark face.
I looked at him, my eyes revealing deep helplessness and disappointment: "Jiang Yichen, I don't hate you. I am an independent individual. Why should I listen to you?"
When Jiang Yichen heard this, a trace of pain and struggle flashed in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, as if making some kind of decision: "Come with me."
He pulled me into the car, and along the way I felt the cold wind, which made me feel much more sober.
Thinking of my grandma's condition, I asked with concern: "What happened to grandma? She looks..."
"You care about grandma so much, and grandma wants great-grandchildren, why don't you listen?"
I was silent for a while, but finally shook my head: "Jiang Yichen, you know our relationship very well, why are you always entangled in this issue?"
"Ha." He sneered and said nothing.
Half an hour later
Jiang Yichen took me to his villa. I frowned and said unhappily, "I want to go home."
After the car stopped, I didn't get out and insisted, "I want to go home."
"get off."
Jiang Yichen walked over to me, opened the car door, and gave a cold order.
"I don't." I crossed my arms and ignored him completely.
Who knew this scoundrel would bend over and pick me up. I was so scared that I quickly hugged his neck, "Jiang Yichen."
A subtle arc appeared at the corner of Jiang Yichen's mouth.
